Former President Olusegun Obasanjo and ex-Military President Ibrahim Babangida (IBB) were conspicuously absent as President Bola Tinubu chairs his maiden Council of State Meeting at the Presidential Villa.
Those physically present at the ongoing meeting are: the Vice President, Kashim Shettima, Senate President, Goodwill Akpabio, former President Muhammadu Buhari and former President Goodluck Jonathan.
